We changed the title to make it more descriptive so people wouldn't have to click on it if they knew what the proof was. The title originally was just "*PROOF* that Shelby Houlihan was not intentionally doping"
Reminds me of Gatlin after he got popped for roids after running 9.77. Gets banned however many years and comes back and runs 9.74, followed by the most consistent season he’s ever had. Makes you wonder. Oh, and he came clean btw.
She has stricter drug testing on her now than ever before (and tested frequently while she was banned), and tests clean.
I disagree with this. My theory is that she and at least one of her BTC friends were taking something, presumably one of those steroid precursor supplements that Ross Tucker mentioned as a possibility and it was very effective. I think she had been taking it for quite some time, as in for years. It clears the system quickly and she passed many tests prior to that failed test.
I think she just got really unlucky with the timing of her failed test or possibly made an error in judgement in the quantity of what she was taking. So if my theory is correct, there's not much reason to assume she wouldn't still be rolling the dice since she has nothing to lose and getting caught is a relatively low risk probability.
As another poster said, this is a lot like Gatlin. Doping gets you in amazing shape. As long as you keep training that does not go away. Without it you may not recover as quickly, but getting in shape is harder than maintaining. In other words, the money is already in the bank. Afterward, they can collect much bigger interest.
Her time today shows that nandrolone and other drugs do not have nearly the performance-enhancing impact that the uninformed people here think they do.
So, zero tests since late September 2024. Only facts.
The AIU also has a testing pool (they tested her when she failed). That data you posted is only from USADA administered tests. It’s still relevant but saying “zero tests” may not be accurate.
